• University Resource Planning is designed for resolving

problems in universities, combining data, improving the

quality and effectiveness of management, and leveling up

the management.

• Based on the Enterprise Resource Planning concept,

reconstructing the data for education in tertiary institutions

will save resources and reduce the procedures during work.

This will help in problems when processing university

information and data effectively.

• The processes and operations in allocating resources in

university will be reduced. The management and services

provision for teachers and students will be enhanced.

• The cloud computing plays a significant role in decreasing

the environmental impacts of ICT in terms of digital access

and usage.

• The UI GreenMetric World University Ranking 2014 is an

international standard demonstrating the university’s efforts

in terms of environmental sustainability management. The

criteria of the ranking are conformed to the university policy

which involves six aspects of evaluation

• Therefore, to conform the operation to the university’s

policy, the author had conducted a research on the analysis

of the green university resource planning on cloud

computing in order to use the research results as the

guideline for developing the future Green University

Resource Planning on cloud computing.

To analyze the green university resource planning on cloud computing

PURPOSE

4


This research is based on the documentary analysis in relation to

the green university resource planning on cloud computing

which is divided into two parts as follows.

• University Resource Planning

• Green University Policy

According to Table 1, University Resource Planning is consisted

of five modules which are

1) Human Resources (for example, registration history, signing

up and working attendance),

2) Finance (for instance, income and expense calculation,

withdrawal, financial statement processing),

3) Education (for example, student application acceptance,

curriculum),

4) Administration (to illustrate, management at all levels), and 5) Research (for example, research and publication).

According to Table 2, the green university policy is categorized

based on the analysis into 10 Policy which are

1) Waste

2) Resources

3) Ambient/Indoor Air

4) Research

5) Energy

6) Landscaping

7) Transportation by Bus

8) Achieve Corporate Social Responsibility

9) Comply with Regulations

10) Infrastructure.

Therefore, the analysis of the green university resource

planning on cloud computing is described in the following

• According to Figure 1, the diagram of the analysis of the

green university resource planning on cloud computing is

based on the documentary analysis on the University

Resource Planning and the Green University Policy.

University Resource Planning consists of five modules which

are 1) Human Resource 2) Finance 3) Education 4)

Administration and 5) Research.

RESULTS

• The research shows that the literatures on both areas are

conformed to UI GreenMetric World University Ranking

2014 criteria which assess the university in six aspects as

shown below.

1. Setting and Infrastructure

2. Energy and Climate Change

3. Waste

4. Water

5. Transportation

RESULTS

• Based on the analysis, Cloud Computing is used for

processing the allocation of resources in the network. Cloud

Computing plays an important role in the environmental

impacts of ICT affecting the digital access and utilization. If

the users are educated about data access via Cloud properly,

the behaviors of users will be improved to be more

environmental-friendly. To do so, there are some principles

needed to be adopted. 1. Standardize 2. Share 3. Reuse and

4. Green Behavior

RESULTS

13


• The analysis of the green university resource planning on

cloud computing based on the documentary analysis shows

that the Enterprise Resource Planning related to specific

tasks of each university consists of five modules

• For the modules under the University Resource Planning,

they are conformed to the UI GreenMetric World University

Ranking criteria. The research results from the documentary

analysis on the Green University Policy suggests that there

are ten related policy

• Similar to the University Resource Planning, they are

conformed to the UI GreenMetric World University Ranking 2014 criteria which have six evaluation
